I ran across this today, where someone had posted the above question and I had an immediate reaction to it. Not that queer women (or anyone else) shouldn’t read science fiction, but what the hell difference does it make?
This goes places that no good discussion ought to go. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Fiction Recommendations for Gay Women
I just got finished having a discussion from someone who, in their own words, is “neuro-atypical”. He was complaining that it’s really hard to live in a world where he can’t do what he wants to do because he’s incapable.
